Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slider buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of ground beef, 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 4 slices of Swiss cheese, 4 slider buns, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
- Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and have released their moisture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, in a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the slider buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
- Once the mushrooms are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef patties.
- Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them over. Top each patty with a slice of Swiss cheese and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the patties are finishing cooking, you can toast the slider buns if desired. Simply place them cut-side down in a separate skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
- Once the patties are cooked and the cheese is melted, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
- Assemble the sliders by placing a beef patty with melted Swiss cheese onto the bottom half of each toasted slider bun. Top with the sautéed mushrooms, then place the top half of the bun over the mushrooms.
- Serve the Mushroom Swiss Sliders warm, and enjoy your delicious American-style sliders!
Tips
- • Don't overwork the ground beef when forming patties - this keeps the meat tender and juicy • Use a medium-high heat to get a perfect sear on your burger patties • Let the patties rest for a minute after cooking to retain their juices • For extra flavor, consider adding a small amount of garlic or Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef • Choose fresh, high-quality mushrooms for the best sautéed mushroom flavor • Toast the buns for added texture and to prevent them from getting soggy • Experiment with different cheese varieties if Swiss isn't your favorite
